^Same

Also I'm meant to be cutting, not a competing strongman lol.

Currently eating Chilliz. Fail

Looks good to me

Rice and meat is all I ate in Asia...ended up losing weight lol

same, in conjuction with iifym

Havent been following my macros for a while now. I've slumped back into around 1400 calories a day, just not hungry atm.

Out of curiosity what is your weight Leesh?

Getting the wifey on a program and just trying to figure out a base calorie range for the day. Currently at 1,280 calories @ 63kg according to my fitness pal

57kg

After some suggestions if you please guys and gals.

So my little sister wants a program to do but at the moment she can only use machines, until someone shows her compounds.

(If she doesn't see a pt I'll show her when I see her in a month or so)

Should I put her on some kind of split or still try do a full body using the machines?

Once I've shown her the movements I'll probably get her to do Markos beginner program or something similar.

I usually consume 1900 calories a day and I would recommend iifym for that rather than my fitness pal

Wow you must either be very active or have a a high metabolism!

Good for when you need to cut hey :D

That is fairly normal for a female her weight/ size.

People that cut on less usually have a large cheat day or binge, not being consistent.

If you feel it's high in comparison to your intake, you really should be looking into what you can do to improve your maintenance.

I agree Birds - it's the fake natties that everyone hates, because they aren't truthful.

From what I've read, it seems quite pointless to start cycling until you're near your genetic potential as well - most of the people I know on test do not look that big / or are hugely strong. Biggest benefits seem to be the recovery ability and being able to eat whatever crap and not put on fat.

The other amusing part is that only a couple have a good understanding of what PCT is and how to go about it.

On an unrelated note, I started using chalk the other day, best training related decision I've made since going from a bro split to a proper beginner strength program.

Chalk is a godsend for dead lifts. Everyone I've given it to has hated it at first and hated the feel until they added 20-30kg to their deadlift in an instant lol. I'm now supplying my gym with chalk cause they never fill the bowl :(

It's not that much food, but Birds volume training helps to keep her thin given I've banned her from most of her old cardio activities :P

Mate I would get her training mobility exercises, stretches, body resistance and supporting muscle exercises just so that she can get her body in good condition to start training the compounds properly when someone has a chance to show her.

Exactly; 1900 calories is actually under what I'm meant to be consuming. Iifym suggests 2100 calories a day for my size and activity level, but I've found a happy medium. The 130g of protein a day is more important to me :)

Yeah she's pretty cluey and is already doing basic body weight stuff, pullups, dips, pushups, etc. Knows a lot of stretches and mobility stuff from dancing.

Might just keep her doing that until she gets taught the compounds.

If she's a dancer she's probably got good flexibility and mobility all round, in which case yeah, you could get her doing some machine versions of compound exercises just to get her started - it's better than nothing or doing freeweights the wrong way. Machine bench, lat pulldown, seated rows, leg press etc.

Ahh it is more so that compared to the girls at my work they seem to be eating in the 1200-1500 calorie range. Maybe they just dont eat enough

If she's a dancer with good flexibility we need pics...

For science.

I can confirm for science

Ah brilliant I forgot about lat pull down :) thanks

Unfortunately for her she looks a bit like a female version of me, so you probably don't want pics hahaha

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
